Change is in the air...

Dan sent me an email from work one day a few weeks back that said 'I have something I want to talk about tonight'.  I replied and told him that was ominous and that I wasn't patient and what would he like to talk about. (because, you know, talking over email to your husband about important things is DEFINITELY the way to go).  He wouldn't budge, but that night, he asked me if I was open to relocation.  We had a discussion about where exactly we were talking about (Let's be honest, some cities would not be acceptable). 
After some talking, we decided we'd be up for it.

Things moved fairly quickly from there and this past week, Dan accepted a new job.  He'll be doing something that he's wanted to do for a long time. 

And with that, comes change.  A change of careers.  And a change of address.  From Lawrenceville, GA to Boston, MA.

As we've shared the news that we're moving with people, there have been several common questions that keep coming up.  To make this easier, I figured I'd share those answers here.

Q: "Boston?  Like the Boston, MA, Boston?"
A:  Yes, that one. 

Q: "When are you moving?"
A: We're still figuring that out, but it'll be mid-October.

Q: "Where are you going to live?"
A:  We'll rent for a year, probably pretty close to Dan's new office in Burlington, while we learn the area and figure out where we want to live long term. 
(and on that note, we'll be renting out our townhouse in Lawrenceville, in the event that anyone knows anyone who is looking for a place to live :) ).

Q: "Will you come back to visit?"
A:  Yes, of course.

Q: "It's cold in Boston.  Did you know that?"
A:  Yes.  And I'm sure there will be several days this winter where we don't enjoy it.  But 3 months of 90+ degree days makes the cold seem like a good thing.  Plus, we think the cold and snow will be fun - we like actually having distinct seasons.

And my personal favorite:
Q: "You do realize that they are going to make fun of your southern accents, right?"
A:  Oh yes - well aware of that.
